Re: You know you're nursing a toddler when...

Only had time to read the first couple of posts..I never ever in my wildest dreams imagined I'd be nursing a 'tot, but it's really sweet and awesome and I love it. And I definately get squirted with BM in the face quite often...especially when lying down, ALSO, you know you're feeding a toddler when she'll come up to you (or you're lying down) and she will nurse any which way/position just to get some nu'nu. She's my babe, I love her so much, I was really nervous about tandem BF, but it's turned out to be a piece of cake! (except for those common mornings when I wake up with my back killing because I have baby on one side and big girl in my arm snuggled up against the nip' on the other side..and I wake up realizing I must have been in that position for a long time, cuz it hurts!!) She's sweet.

We just and I am non-stop and we have always and now we are finding our groove with I can't believe it, but I am also and there's alot of going on with Annabella. This mama couldn't be more grateful for the two most important loves of her life, and my natural ability to instinctively follow my heart according to what I later learned as "Attachment Parenting"

Re: You know you're nursing a toddler when...

:lmao to the last 2 posts. SO happened..I try to avoid nursing her in public, but if she needs it, she needs it, so I walk around with a hefty 22 month old in my arms, wonder if people realize I'm BF? Oh well, lol, they can bite me if they don't like it..gr. And also so true! Sometimes we'll be at home or even out and she's so tired or just hungry or needing comfort and before I know it her hands down my shirt and she pops my nipple out and is BF b4 I knew it was going to happen. Very cute

A little embarrasing but hey...thats what makes him feel safe right?

This sounds like my experience at Home Depot on Sunday! We are beginning to remodel our bathroom and were perusing the aisles. DD was getting impatient so I walked up and down the aisles nursing her. Much better than a toddler running up and down the aisles screaming and signing for milk!

Re: You know you're nursing a toddler when...

DH told DS that daddy was going to get the milkies so now when daddy is home DS gets in his tent in the living room calls for Mommy and points to the place in the tent I'm supposed to sit. I climb in and he smiles and pats the milkies. Latches , smiles and unlatches says " no Daddy milkies?" I say "no, Daddy can't have the milkies" and he latches back on. When Daddy is at work we don't have to hide!
